rome by john hoover who has been following the developments. already some tough words. can he pull them out of political paralysis? >> i think he can. i think one of the conditions for accepting this mandate, as you said, at the age of 87, was that he would have cooperation from the parties in forming either a grand coalition which would include those less a democratic parties and the center-right freedom movement. people of freedom movement, or a democratic government that supports it by a wide band of parties involvement. >> the role of the president is purely ceremonial in italy.

what does the public reaction been so far to israel action? >> his role is not really just ceremonial. he has two very important powers. he can dissolve our lament. he also is the man who decides who should try to form the new government. indeed, people are talking about this is a move towards a presidential style of government. generally, the appreciation is much respected and people are banking on his skills to try to move the country forward after this. of paralysis -- after this period of paralysis. >> ministers gathering in luxor today in areas under rebel control. >> they hope that oil exports

taking in refugees. >> it is really down to european policymakers to do something to create stability in the region and fight radicalism. >> eu ministers hope that easing will help to foster those goals and reduce the suffering of the civilian population. >> earlier i spoke to our brussels bureau chief who was in luxembourg covering the meeting for us. now that they have voted to lift the oil embargo, how quickly will that translate into concrete support for the opposition? >> it will take some time. we need to cooperate with the local authorities in those areas. the most important partner remains the syrian national coalition. this recently dismissed all

political fundamentals by paving the way for further support. even after having lifted the oil embargo, a lot of technical work needs to be done. for example, how to ship the revenues back to syria as well as in brussels. it might prove impossible to start oil dwelling and oil exporting by a country riddled by a civil war. >> some eu members like france and great britain support the think the arms embargo. then there are countries like germany that opposed it. do you think that's might change? >> london and paris want to go ahead and ship to the rebels in order to start -- in order to stop the bloodshed as soon as possible. basically they all remain skeptical. they say no weapons means more bloodshed.

the government has rejected the reports saying that the human rights watch does not understand the situation on the ground. >> today is not a good day to fly -- of the german carrier has canceled almost 1800 flights after a warning strike. >> it was called verity after another round of talks on a 5.2% pay increase that was ejected by management. passengers were delayed and many remained stranded on airports. >> many passengers had little choice but to sit and wait. the warning strike has disrupted flights at airports around germany and some travelers are growing impatient. >> i have no sympathy for the strike. worst of all, there is no -- counter to the re-bookings. it is terrible.

interest abroad to do their duty and pay tax on it. >> he says he turned himself in in january. that was before the -- if that was before the authorities were onto him, that'll that'll mean he escapes jail. >> a political correspondent joins us now from our parliamentary studios. the germany is quite unique in that it asks tax evaders to turn themselves and interns for a more lenient sentence. is that a method work? >> showing some leniency to perpetrators who come clean voluntarily has established principle of jury -- of prudence. it does not appear to be effective. tax cheaters do not appear to have a conscience very often. what seems to help his fear. it is when tax cheats feel the authorities are closing in on them that the risk is too great.

that is when they turned themselves in. many believe that was the case with him. >> the government is also accused of using other slightly dubious means to catch tax dollars. for example, buying a legal data on tax dodges. tell us more about that. >> a couple german states have been buying cv's with data about germans who has secret swiss bank accounts. at that data is supposed to secret. in fact, it was stolen. the east german states hate millions of euros to get that data themselves in order to scare up the beast tax cheats. if tax -- many go the states are undermining their own principles by supporting purchases of stolen data. >> thank you so very much for your insight. >> while germany's political class is a flutter, his squad

does have a gamecube play. what a game it is. >> if you have been paying any attention at all to soccer over the past few years, you will know that it's means trying to stop the world's best soccer player. he has a huge impact on any match. >> his work against the footwork of one of soccer's best. he barcelona star forward is a back. they say his team is ready. >> from what i have seen in spanish media and from what i have heard, he has been training as normal and he will start in tomorrow's game. i think we will be able to find a solution. >> stopping the attack is a special challenge.

combined. >> no wonder everyone wants a piece of the action at the shanghai auto show. the competition is fierce. it is an attempt to make luxury more affordable, especially for chinese of buyers. it will be the driving force behind sales growth. so far, it has been unable to profit from car markets like china's. it'll be assembled in china in the hope of finding greater acceptance. >> you need the right balance. you do not have to make all of your vehicles locally, but a member of them. this will be one of them. that is good for the future success of this vehicle. >> mercedes is hopefully -- is hoping to replicate audi's success. hsn failed the new -- it's as unveiled the new sedan.
